Step 2 - Define the Mount Point

The mount point for the LSPX5 / HR-XS Probe Changer is the location in front of the probe changer where the machine moves to before it picks up or drops off a probe. This should be a location that avoids collisions with the probe changer or part.

To define the mount point for your probe changer:

1. Select the Mount Point tab in the Probe Changer dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Probe Changer):

Probe Changer dialog box - Mount Point tab

2. In the Active probe changer list, select TYPE=LSPX5.

3. Alter the probe head wrist angle for both A angle and B angle to 0. (This is a fixed head and cannot be mounted on a wrist.)

4. Use your jog box to manually move your machine to the desired mount point position.

5. Click the Read Machine button to populate the X, Y, and Z machine position values with the current position. You can also type these values.

6. To save your changes, click Apply.

In the next step, you define the number of ports.
